Do they resonate with you?If I get some interest...
I mean, what technology did you use for the voice, what AI? I have a similar app but its text only.
Was this codebase audited by a security company?
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Wow this is a lot of fun actually!! Very fast moving too. Well executed. Will book mark.

An interactive tool designed for self-discovery around managing difficult conversations. You enter a topic, choose a part of the conversation to explore (preparation, emotional handling, and closure) and the app proposes a method from a bank of 15 and applies it for you. You can then continue the journey until you feel ready. The app saves your examples so you end up with a personalized...
I fully agree. Did you take the test? I'd love your feedback too.

Hi Atiscant, thanks for the feedback. I rewrote the questions to avoid the good vs bad formulation, reduced the questions from 6 to 4, and I also simplified the dimensions from 12 to 8, so the result should be a tighter, better test. I need to wait until I get some data to validate, you were one of the first users, it will take some more time before I can do that. "the report kind of feels very AI generated and generic" - point taken, I will tweak the prompt to make a better use of the user's free text input in order to make it more personal - I mean thats the whole point of having an AI to help with the report. In your opinion, how many naturally recurring personality archetypes in the human population? With MBTI and 4 traits, its only 16, imho thats too few.
You are right, Yodon. Validation needs a minimum of 500 or 1000 uses, no? And I don't have that yet. To get there I first need to get to a product that people find relevant, so any feedback is good feedback at this early stage. Based on what I got here, I am going to reduce the trait pairs from 12 to 8, and re-write the questions, and put less questions to make it quicker to complete, and tweak the report format. I'll publish a V2 in a few days. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi, Jaen, thanks for the feedback. Whether they are independent or high entropy, its too soon to say, its a new framework I conceived and I am not a psychometrist, I would need to get to 500 or 1000 to see the recurrence of archetype clusters. I see your point however, some of the concepts may overlap, I am going to bring it down to 8 trait pairs / dimensions. Hogan has 7 dimensions seems. In your experience, how many archetypes exist in the human population? with 4 trait pairs, thats only 16, with 12, thats above 3000. Must be somewhere in between.

Hi there, are you familiar with MBTI, DiSC, Big Five? Well I'm experimenting with a new kind of personality test, Archetype 360, and I'd love for you to try it for free and tell me what you think.- 24 traits across 12 opposing pairs -- that's three times more dimensions than MBTI or DiSC, so you get a much more nuanced profile.

Hi all, we had a discussion this week with a UN client with 500 employees who was paying 20'000 USD per year for a well known employee engagement platform (yes, that one) --- this price is totally crazy!!! and they can't afford it anymore so now they are stuck
So we are offering a new SME package for only 499$ per year for UNLIMITED employees. Run 10 surveys of your choice. And you get a custom survey and we'll help you set it up including the AI prompt!!
Its not really clear what it does.
Try answering these questions in plain language:
- Who is this for?
- What problems do they have?
- How does this help with that problem?
- How is it unique or better than the competition?
Then feed that into Gemini and ask for a landing page.

I made a Bitcoin Learning Wallet — and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.You send me a little Bitcoin (like $5), and in return, you get a real-time walkthrough of what’s happening to your transaction: mempool, mining, confirmations, fees, decentralization — all explained in plain English as it happens.It’s half joke, half tutorial — but you’ll actually learn more in 5 minutes than from a...
We just launched Org360, a platform that generates AI-powered 360° feedback and organizational health reports — designed for mission-driven teams, nonprofits, and leadership coaches.
We offer three AI engines (Gemini, GPT-4, and Claude) so users can choose their preferred LLM. The leadership 360 includes not just feedback summaries, but a personalized development plan (~2500 words) crafted by the AI based on survey results.
Why build this? Most 360 tools are either overpriced, overly corporate, or lack useful AI integration. Org360 makes 360 feedback simple, coach-friendly, and affordable for changemakers and small teams.
Would love your thoughts — especially from other builders working with LLMs or doing org design work.

Is there a crypto thats going to pop soon? I was lucky to buy ETH at 15$ because it was not yet well known - any similar deals currently?
Thanks - its more the wait time than the custom order. I'll go for the 16gb then.

Lets say you just use Chrome with 20 tabs open, and some productivity apps. No gaming or VM or video content creation. 256 GB is enough RAM.You want your Macbook to last 5 years.Do you get the 8gb or the 16GB version?

I'm thinking of creating a web service that would install OpenVPN for you on your own server, with x user accounts and then send you an email with all the configuration details for Tunnelblick.My assumption is that there are people geeky enough to want a VPN, but not geeky enough to install it themselves.I'm also assuming that using openVPN on your own server is more discrete, and therefore...
I've had a similar idea. I am thinking of creating a service that would install OpenVPN for you on your own server, and send you an email with all the configuration details. Would that be useful, worthwhile doing?
